MAINTENANCE
Before carrying out any maintenance operations, cut off the electric power supply by
disconnecting the plug from the extension cable.
Regular cleaning and maintenance of you grass trimmer will ensure efficiency and prolong the
life of your machine.
After each cutting operation, take apart and clean out the grass and soil from the spool and its
slot, the whole trimmer and in particular the guard.
During operation, keep the air slots clean and free of grass.
Only use a cloth soaked with hot water and a soft brush to clean the grass trimmer.
Do not spray or wet the appliance with water.
Do not use detergents or solvents as these could ruin the trimmer. The parts in plastic can
easily be damaged by chemical agents.
For repairs which have not been explained in these instructions, contact an authorized service
centre.
TROUBLE-SHOOTING
CAUTION! Before every operation disconnect the electric power supply.
If the grass trimmer vibrates: remove the spool and clean its slot carefully removing any grass
and so forth. If vibration persists after reassembly, replace the spool with a new one. In the
event of the problem not disappearing, have the trimmer checked at an authorized service
centre.
If the grass trimmer does not start: check all the electrical connections; check that no fuse has
blown in your electrical system. If after the above checks, the grass trimmer still does not start,
have it checked at an authorized service centre.
STORAGE
Follow these recommendations for storing the grass trimmer:
Carry out general cleaning of the grass trimmer and its ancillary parts (see maintenance
paragraph),
Store it out of the reach of children, in a stable and safe position and in a dry place where the
temperature is not too hot or too cold.
Store the trimmer away from direct sunlight, if possible in a dark or barely lit place.
Do not store in a bag as this could encourage the formation of damp patches.
Do not store the grass trimmer resting on the floor. Hang it by the upper handgrip instead, so
that the guard does not touch anything. The resting of the guard on a surface could alter its
shape and therefore its dimensions and safety characteristics would be modified.
